Chapter 40: Maybe It's the Ex
Yun Xi curled her lips, "Why can't it be me?"
Wang Yuyan frowned, "This is a pastry shop, and you actually come here to buy pastries. Do you know how expensive these pastries are? Can you afford them?"
After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something and sneered, "Oh, I almost forgot, you just broke off the engagement and got hundreds of taels of silver, so you can afford it. But you don't want to buy some food back to the village, but buy so many cakes. Even if you have hundreds of taels of silver, you can't afford to waste it like this."
When the people around heard her say this, they all looked at Yun Xi curiously.
Just broke off the engagement? Did the other party pay a hundred taels of silver? Or was he from the village? How many kilograms of cakes did he buy at one time?
Wow, this is the first time I see this.
Yun Xi rolled her eyes. "Can you please explain clearly why I broke off the engagement? Wasn't it because of you who instigated me to break off the engagement?
And that silver was originally lent by our family to the Zhao family. Now that the two families have broken off the engagement, can't we get it back?
As for what I want to buy, it doesn't cost you any money, so why should you care?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Yuyan wanted to refute. But before she could open her mouth, Yun Yan behind her also said,
"Wang Daya, you still have the nerve to show up in front of my sister? We haven't even settled the score with you for pushing my sister off the cliff, and you still dare to come out and show up?"
Swah——
Everyone in the shop turned their eyes to Wang Yuyan again.
My goodness, this girl actually dared to push someone off the cliff. She is so vicious.
Immediately, everyone around her subconsciously stepped back and looked at her in horror.
Wang Yuyan was furious. "Yun Yan, stop slandering me. You said I pushed her off the cliff. Where is the evidence? If you can't produce evidence, it's slander. I can sue you."
"Oh, go ahead and sue me. I'm afraid of you."
Yun Yan raised his chin slightly and looked at Wang Yuyan provocatively. He still couldn't believe that someone who had done something bad would dare to go to the government office to file a complaint.
"you……"
Wang Yuyan was so angry at his attitude that she was speechless. Then she snorted with disdain.
"Humph, since we are from the same village, I don't want to bother with you."
After saying that, she looked at the waiter again and said, "Give me half a pound of the red date cake. It's several pounds. She doesn't want that much."
His matter-of-fact attitude confused the waiter.
"Ah, this..."
Yun Xi snatched the red date cake from Xiao Er's hand and put the silver on the counter.
"Who said I can't have so much? Waiter, count the silver and see if it's correct."
The waiter came to his senses and immediately started counting the money.
"That's right, young lady. It's eight ounces and four hundred coins."
Yun Xi was holding the pastries, not wanting to even glance at Wang Yuyan, and she called Yun Yan and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yuyan was very unconvinced and was about to chase after him while holding up her skirt. "Stop, Yunxi, you are deliberately going against me, aren't you?"
Yun Xi stopped, turned around and looked at her steadily, and warned her sternly, "Wang Yuyan, don't mess with me, otherwise, I will settle the score between you and Zhao Junyi."
Wang Yuyan was stunned, not sure what she meant.
Did he know that Wang Daya and Zhao Junyi reached an agreement to push her off the cliff, or did he think that she had some improper relationship with Zhao Junyi?
Her eyes flickered, but she would never admit to pushing her off the cliff, even if she was beaten to death.
She said, "Stop talking nonsense. Zhao Junyi's parents have adopted me as their adopted daughter. I am his adopted sister."
Yun Xi sneered, "Oh, then just be his adopted sister."
After saying that, he picked up the cakes and left with Yun Yan without looking back.
Wang Yuyan was so angry that she stamped her feet behind him. She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Just wait. One day, I will teach you a lesson. I will make you crawl on the ground and kneel down to beg me."
After watching the two people walk away, Wang Yuyan turned around and prepared to go into the pastry shop again, but was blocked by a young girl, no, it should be a young woman.
Wang Yuyan was already in a bad mood, and asked unhappily, "What do you want to do?"
"How dare you be so rude when our young lady talks to you." A girl who looked like a servant beside the woman shouted sternly.
"Chun Ju, don't be rude." The woman said coldly.
Chunju lowered her head, responded, and stepped back.
It was only then that Wang Yuyan noticed that a carriage had stopped nearby at some point.
Thinking that he was blocking their way, he quickly moved two steps to the side.
Unexpectedly, the carriage did not leave, and the master and servant showed no intention of getting on the carriage. Wang Yuyan looked at them with some confusion.
Seeing her confusion, Xue Yao smiled and said softly, "Miss, don't get me wrong. I just heard you say that you are Jun Yi's adopted sister, so I wanted to ask if you want some red date cakes. I also bought several kilograms just now, so I can share some with you."
Wang Yuyan looked Xue Yao up and down, not knowing what the relationship between this person and Zhao Junyi was. Hearing her calling Junyi brother so affectionately, someone who didn't know would have thought she was calling him a lover brother.
But this person was obviously wearing a woman's bun, and it was obvious that she was married. There was no way she could be in that kind of relationship with Zhao Junyi.
Looking at the other person's attire, she was wearing a lake blue Cuiyan skirt, with a light blue Cuishui gauze on the outside, and her hair was full of red hairpins, with a golden hairpin that was particularly eye-catching.
Wang Yuyan complained in her heart, he really looks like a nouveau riche.
But no matter how he complained in his heart, he concealed his impatience on his face.
She pulled the corners of her mouth, trying to show a friendly and polite smile, "Who are you?"
Xue Yao looked annoyed. "Look at me. I even forgot to introduce myself. My last name is Xue. You can call me Sister Xue. Your sworn brother and I are...old friends."
Wang Yuyan suddenly realized, that's what it was.
Suddenly, a raging fire of gossip ignited in her heart. What old friend? I'm afraid they have a special relationship.
Maybe it’s his ex or something.
But, that’s not right. If we talk about ex, shouldn’t Yun Xi be the ex?
At that time, Zhao Junyi and Yun Xi had not yet broken off their engagement.
Is it an underground love affair?
One was engaged, the other married early at the behest of her parents. In the end, they were destined to be apart?
Wang Yuyan instantly imagined the love story of the two people in 80 episodes. She immediately became interested and said enthusiastically, "Hello, Sister Xue. No wonder I felt very close to you when I saw you. It turns out that you are my sworn brother's old friend."
Xue Yao covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, "Sister Wang is really a lovely person. Who can say she isn't? I also felt particularly close to her when I saw her."
After they exchanged pleasantries for a while, Wang Yuyan suggested going back and invited Xue Yao to her home.
Xue Yao paused before saying, "Okay, I have a carriage and I can take you back with me."
As he said this, he asked Chunju behind him to help the two of them get into the carriage.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard rented by the Zhao family.
Wang Yuyan led her into the house. Except for Zhao Ruyun and Zhao Junming, the other three were not at home.
Zhao Pingxiu went back to the village to ask his clansmen to borrow money, and Zhang also went to her parents' home to ask for money.
Xue Yao followed him into the house and looked at the shabby and simple courtyard with disgust.
But it didn't show on his face, and he still had a gentle and soft smile.
